Tzirret did not get a chance to reply before Meesei requested their assistance, but Ma'tanza certainly made no protest. She was still far too nervous to attempt to delay anything the Champion wanted. So, she stayed silent, and intentionally stood so that Tzirret would be between her and Meesei. 

Meesei glanced in the direction of the city as she spoke. "I just want to be sure we are all clear on the story we will tell to the priests, or any others who are curious. We want to make sure that we do not give differing accounts of what happened. I do not want to stray too far from the truth, so you can mention the fact that you were taken as slaves, and anything before that point. Just, instead of the ship being boarded and captured, you should say that a storm caused the ship carrying you to crash onto one of the southern sea's many islands. Then, the slavers were picked up by the other ship sailing with them, but abandoned you for a lack of space. You can describe your time aboard this island however you wish, but be sure to say that our ships spotted your signal fire and rescued you. From there, we decided to bring you to safety in Leyawiin."
